BNDES Card is a product designed specifically to the micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and, in October, achieved its best performance since the card has begun its operations, in 2003. For the first time ever, the figure of R$ 100 million in transactions was surpassed within a month. The amount of investments, raking R$ 110 million, was 20% higher than the amount registered in
September.
Also in September, the number of operations increased by 12%, totaling 7,195 operations

Likewise, requests for registrations coming from new manufacturers (385) and distributors (353) have also broken records, representing an increase by 14% to 70%, respectively.
Grounding on available data, the projection is that BNDES Card will release to the end of 2008 total of R$ 820 millions
- an amount higher than the R$ 750 millions expected, representing an increase by 60% as compared with 2007.
History - Issued by accredited financial institutions (currently, Caixa Econômica Federal, Banco do Brasil and Bradesco), BNDES Card is a pre-approved revolving credit facility, whose operations are automatically performed via the website

Created to finance capital gods to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, since 2006, BNDES Card has been including in its portfolio some industrial inputs processed by small-sized enterprises in order to transform these inputs into goods with higher added value.
Since September 2008, services of certification, conformity inspection, calibration, and laboratory tests have also been financed, as long as these services are provided by entities accredited before INMETRO. BNDES is also providing registration services for hospitals and other health institutions which are in compliance with standards recognized by ANS (the Brazilian Health Agency).
Currently, there are 10 thousand suppliers registered, making available more than 96 thousand of financeable items. Making available an average disbursement of R$ 15 thousand per operation distributed among 27 States countrywide, BNDES Card represents the democratization of access to BNDES loans.
